World Trade Centre Building No 7, NYC

Compared to the WTC Twin Towers, few people have seen video footage of the collapse of the 47-story WTC building seven; but the event was recorded from several different angles by the major US news networks. As evidenced by masses of video [1] the collapse is clearly a controlled demolition, and an extremely professional one at that. How else can the perfectly symmetrical collapse, at free-fall speed, into its own footprint be explained?

BBC's Jane Standley - Live Broadcast

Why was it demolished and how was it accomplished? Why do the FEMA and NIST reports try to explain the collapse based purely on impact damage from tower debris and randomly distributed fires? These effects would have weakened the supporting columns asymmetrically and assuming sufficient damage - a BIG assumption - would have caused substantial tipping had they alone produced the collapse.

Reports of the collapse

At 4:57 EST, BBC NYC correspondent Jane Standley, in conversation with Philip Hayton the BBC London Presenter, reported live on the air, that the building had collapsed. The 'collapse' was headlined in the 5:00pm new roundups of both the BBC and US TV channels. The video of her report has her framed against a large window with a view of the smoking WTC site in the background and building 7 (which she was reporting no longer existed) clearly and prominently visible in the background. [2] The live video feed was severed at 5:15pm whilst Philip Hayton was still talking to her. The building collapsed shortly thereafter at 5:21pm

BBC Editor's response the Jane Standley report and video

In February 2007, In response to considerable external pressure over the report and video Richard Porter, one of the BBC's senior editors, posted two separate Blog articles endeavoring to explain how it was that the BBC had reported the collapse of one of the tallest buildings in New York, fully half an hour before it DID eventually collapse. The posts followed the broadcast of the 9/11 episode of their feature series 'The Conspiracy Files'. They adopt a similarly patronising tone complete with de-rigeur use of the pejorative 'Conspiracy theory' and its derivatives. At the time of writing (June 2010) these blog posts are still on the BBC web site. [3] and [4] . They have also been archived on WikiSpooks.

Larry Silverstein "Pull it"

Larry Silverstein took out a long lease on the World Trade Center only six weeks before 9/11[5][6]. In a 2002 PBS documentary entitled 'America Rebuilds', Silverstein made the following statement about Building 7:

I remember getting a call from the, er, fire department commander, telling me that they were not sure they were gonna be able to contain the fire, and I said, "We've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it." And they made that decision to pull, and we watched the building collapse.'"

Subsequently, Silverstein Properties issued a statement denying that "pull it" meant "demolish building 7", claiming that when Silverstein advised the fire commander that "the smartest thing to do is pull it," what he meant was that it would be wise to pull a contingent of firefighters out of the building, although at that time, there were no firefighters in the building[7].
